I'm attempting to install Cloudera 6 as a single-node on Centos 7 using VMWare Workstation 12 for learning and POC purposes.   However, I'm running into heartbeat issues.  Initially I get an error saying...   [30/Sep/2018 21:55:05 +0000] 24667 MainThread agent ERROR Heartbeating to cloudera6.localdomain:7182 failed.
